The exchange rate for DKK 100 is approximately € 13, £ 11 and USD 19.
- Voltage is 220V.

Transportation
Here you can find
an overview of the DTU campus, including location of the lecture hall 308 and the bus stops.
A taxi from the airport to DTU takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the route (through the city or around) and traffic conditions. The price is approximately DKK 400 through the city and DKK 500 around the city.
For information on how to get around in the greater Copenhagen area you can look
at the travel plan of the Danish
Railway Company.
To search for connections use CPH for the airport, KBH for the central station, and DTU for the campus.
The best connection from Copenhagen is by S-train to Lyngby and then by bus to DTU campus.
From the city to the campus you need a ticket for 5 zones, from the airport to the campus you need a ticket for 6 zones, and from the airport to Copenhagen you need a ticket for 3 zones.
